INFORMATION

The Costa Brava covers a strip of Mediterranean coastline spanning from the mouth of the Tordera River in Blanes, Girona province, to Portbou on the French border. A stretch of 214km which includes the shires of La Selva, Lower Ampurdá and Upper Ampurdá, the name Costa Brava describes its rugged and rocky character and it was the journalist, Ferran Agulló who coined this term to refer to this area of the Catalan coastline. Filled with the most enchanting, small villages like Llafranc, Calella de Palafrugell and Begur, in which the pine tree lined rocky coves contrast with the turquoise blue of the sea which bathes it. Owing to its huge length and geographical ruggedness, several days would be necessary to see it all. However, we have chosen for you to see a truly entrancing, picturesque, well-preserved seaside town on the Costa Brava.

Dalí: the Dalí museum in Figueres is the birthplace of one of our world-renowned painters, Salvador Dalí. This museum is located in the old Figueres theatre where Dalí himself gave his first exhibition at 15 years of age. The Dalí theatre-museum is not only famous for the works that it contains such as "La Galatea", "The Bread Basket", "The Hallucinogenic Toreador ", "Portrait of Gala naked which at a distance of 17 metres becomes a portrait of Abraham Lincoln", "The Palace of the Wind ", but also because the museum was designed by Dalí himself turning it into, in the artist’s own words, “the largest surrealist artwork in the world”.
